Summer is about to get sour! On the cusp of high school, best friends Timmy and Squeeze reopen their annual lemonade stand to honor Timmy’s late father and compete in a life-changing contest. Their plans take a turn when the neighborhood “It Girl” – Caity – launches a rival cookie business directly across the street. As a fierce battle of wits tests friendships and values, the tactics turn dark and deeply personal. Will they hold tight to bitterness, or risk vulnerability to build something sweeter than they ever imagined?

LEMONADE, which is recommended for ages 10 and up, is also a rare opportunity for audience members to bring their kids to Trustus Theatre. Playwright, composer, and lyricist Jesse Corbin says, “LEMONADE is a multi-generational adventure! An exciting event for kids and parents that will also entertain and thrill theater goers with its slapping tunes and hilarious antics.”
